Blackmailed For Love

It was not long before I heard the leaves crunched behind me as I sat there on on the forest floor, on my knees, crying my heart out- telling me that someone was behind me.

Thinking that it was Kristoff, I didn't turn around and neither removed my hands from my face which was soaked with my tears and probably all red.

"Go away, Kristoff.

Leave me alone."

"It would be hard for him to do so, when he is not here."

His deep voice slid over me like a warm blanket as I sat there on my knees, frozen.

My heart started beating furiously and I wanted to run away, to hide from him or to stand up and slap his stupidly beautiful face.

"Go away."

I hissed out.

1 His footsteps drew closer and then his cinnamon scent engulfed as I felt him come close.

A moment later, rough fingers curled around my wrists and he pulled my hands down.

I didn't want to open my eyes but when I felt his fingers wiping my cheeks off the tears, my eyelids fluttered open and I saw him crouching low in front of me looking so handsome with his dark grey eyes that resembled a rainy sky locked on me.

"Why are you here?"

I asked him, my voice threadbare with tears.

"I saw you crying."

"And? Why would it matter to you?"

I demanded pushing his hands away.

I stumbled to my feet and said, "I am just a little girl, right?"

I turned around from him then, unable to look at him any longer as all I could think about was how I longed to have him see me as something more than just a little girl, to have his arms around me and tell me that I mattered.

But for the second time his strong fingers wrapped around my arm as he stopped me from taking another step away from him.

"Release me."

I said through clenched teeth trying hard to control my emotions, to not yell at him for not loving me back.

"Elsa—"

"Why don't you go back to that woman you were with? She is your type, right?"

I felt my heart squeezing painfully as I said the words, "Go back to her.

Don't worry about me, I understand that I'm just a little girl, a daughter of a servant in your home, not someone you'd ever be with."

1 He let out a curse and then he was in front of me, his hands cupping my face.

"You think it's your fucking financial status that's stopping me?"

"What else could it be? I am the poor girl from the wrong side of the town.

You would rather help me, avenge me, than date me!"

I pushed at his chest, the stupid tears once again coming down in rivulets.

"I am not good enough for you.

Not rich enough.

Not beautiful enough.
